Thermal embrittlement of cast austenitic stainless steel components from the decommissioned advanced thermal prototype reactor Fugen has been characterized. Cast stainless steel materials were obtained from recirculation pump casing. The actual time at temperature for the materials was 138,000 h at 275 oC. The “Fugen” material show modest decrease in Charpy-impact properties and a small increase in micro-Vickers hardness in ferrite phase because of thermal aging at relatively low service temperatures. ...

Research of Estimation Method of Thermal Aging Embrittlement on Cast Austenitic Stainless Steel

Pipe wall thinning caused by FAC (Flow Accelerated Corrosion) and LDI (Liquid Droplet Impingement)is managed through the measurement of pipe wall using UT (Ultrasonic Test) and the replacement of thinning element until reaching allowable limit in order to prevent pipe failure in Japan. Minimum wall thickness of design codes is applied to the allowable limit of pipe wall thinning management. On the other hand, the thinning area is localized in pipe wall caused by FAC and LDI, so the integr ity of piping sys...
